The Events Of Lagos

About The Events Of Lagos

What if your city was marked for extinction—and no one planned to stop it?

In a near-future Nigeria, global scientists quietly revise their projections: an asteroid known as Goliath is on a direct path toward the Gulf of Guinea. The impact zone? Lagos. But in a city where chaos is routine and silence is policy, the truth is buried—first by officials, then by design.

As the countdown to impact begins, General Fadahunsi Adéyẹmí authorizes a radical experiment: transform Lagos into a Red Zone. A sealed-off, sacrificial territory. Death row inmates are relocated. Volunteers seeking meaning flood in. The world watches. The gates close.

Inside the walls, a fragile society is born. Rebels, philosophers, smugglers, prophets, and children all coexist in the shadow of certain doom. Some fight. Some flee. Others choose to simply live out their final days on their own terms.

But Lagos is not going quietly.

Told through multiple perspectives and woven with urgency, heartbreak, and defiance, The Events of Lagos is a speculative dystopian novel about memory, resistance, and what it means to choose meaning over survival.

For readers —this is not a story about the end of the world. It’s about the end of forgetting.
